Nanu?!

As it's almost Halloween I wanted to share this song, the German version of What's This?! Or Nanu?!  For some obscure reason I find it hilarious and was reduced to a fit of giggles.  Needless to say I kept pressing the repeat button.

While watching I thought, "he's like a child finding out about Christmas for the first time".  Clearly that is exactly what's going one here.  For those who are immortal never really grow up do they?  Take Jack Frost, Peter Pan, and Doctor Who (10th) for example.  Granted, life has its downs but that's not all there is, some days you find out about Christmas.

Foreign Languages - Which One To Learn?

As you may or may not know, I've wanted and even started to learn Scotts Gaelic.  Unfortunately, there is so little information about it that I've come to the conclusion I would do better learning a different language.  I don't like it, but I will have an easier time acquiring the materials to learn German instead.  So, German it is.

To mark the occasion I've decided to share my (at this moment) favorite German song, Klavier by Rammstein.  In case you wondered klavier (klav•ier) means piano.

Snickerdoodle/Suger Cookie Recipe

Now I wrote "slash" because honestly I don't know what the difference is between a Snickerdoodle and a sugar cookie is, nor do I care.  But to clarify these cookies will taste like Snickerdoodles.  I simply added/subtracted to a sugar cookie recipe to make them.

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Makes 40 cookies

Ingredients:

• 2 3/4 cup Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1 1/2 cups Sugar (white)
• Butter (softened)
• Cinnamon (unknown amount, if I had to guess I'd say around half a tablespoon but really I've no idea)
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (optional)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 375°F
• Stir flour, baking soda, and baking powder in a small bowl; set aside
• Cream together butter and sugar. Now make sure the butter is completely softened, melted is a no-no, or just use margarine.
• Stir in egg (and vanilla)
• Gradually add flour and however much cinnamon you desire.
• Roll the dough to small balls and/or squash them flat and place on cookie sheet.  Sprinkle on a little bit of sugar on top for decoration.
• Cook for about 8 minutes.  Note: cookies won't look done but they'll taste delicious given a chance to set, also know that these cookies harden quickly so store them proper.  Enjoy!

The Wolverine - Movie Review

I hated this movie, it was just awful for so many reasons.  So many.  That said, the effects were good, there were plenty of great action scenes, and more than a few houmorus bits.  My favorite being the part were those two old ladies forced him to take a bath and afterwards Logan said, "I feel violated".  What I didn't like however was the storyline and the people (all save Wolverine).  Right up until the very end I was considering pretending this movie never happened.  Seriously, it was that bad.  I can't say why my opinion changed because I don't know myself.  But, whatever it was made the whole ordeal worth it.  In a way I'm reminded of the movie The Devils Own, in certain respects.  I'll leave it to you to figure out what those are.
